What should I gap the plugs at. Every manual says to check the emmisions sticker under the hood. Problem is I can't find it. Thanks

is that the same gap across the board for 2.3 or are they different for N/A and Turbo?

They're different. I was going by memory, but I just checked my Chiltons and it's definitely .044".

Like I said, they must be different. The n/a gap is .044", I have no doubt that the turbo spec is .034" to avoid spark blowout or something. We're both right.

My 93' N/A is .042 -.045 some one out here told me .042 is good because when the get hot after a while of it they will widen some and you don't have to re-gap them as often. As for the Turbo, I'm not sure mine is messing the sticker and the books tells me the same as yours.

Hope it helps
